The mission of our PFLAG chapter is to offer support to cope with an adverse society, education to enlighten an ill-informed public, and advocacy to end discrimination and secure equal civil rights. Please contact us! We like to hear from you.

The July 2013 newsletter of Oregon Central Coast PFLAG can be found here.

Big thanks to Nel Ward who does a great job with our newsletter.

Please join us on Thursday, July 4 in Yachats when PFLAG will be a rainbow presence in the LaDeDa Parade. We’ll gather about 11 AM in the covered shelter behind Yachats Commons to make signs and share our rainbow gear! The parade starts at noon and there are lots of activities and food events to enjoy in Yachats all afternoon.

On Wed., July 10 our PFLAG meeting at 7 PM at St. Stephen’s Church in Newport will focus on Welcoming Churches–and how they came to be Welcoming! Always time for support, socializing, and refreshments as well.

Saturday, July 13 is our turn at Saturday Market in Newport–stop by to visit and thank the PFLAG and Welcoming Church volunteers!

Saturday, July 20 is the statewide kickoff for Oregon’s Marriage Equality
ballot measure signature gathering. Watch for an email with more info on
how we will organize to gather LOTS of signatures in Lincoln County.

Thanks for all you’re doing to make our communities safer and more welcoming to
our LGBT family & friends,
